PRINTS ARE HERE TO STAY

I have never really been a fan of bold, crazy prints… I find patterns too busy on me and often opt for block colours. But I have noticed that diverse prints and patterns are really in at the moment, and so I am starting to warm up to them.

Seen on celebrities, in the shops, and in the magazines – prints are a trend that is here to stay, and are most popular in the forms of floral, geometric, stripes/spots, and animal.

I will never however mix patterns e.g. striped top with floral skirt – that will always be a fashion faux pas in my eyes but if it’s one piece of clothing dominated by prints, I am ok with that.

Only this week I bought a floral high neck dress by Elliatt from Wild Child and I am in love with it. Thinking I’ll wear it with my hair up in a messy bun and bright lips so that the dress does all the talking.

If you too are slightly overwhelmed by prints, start off with an animal print piece; whether it be a dress, bag, heels, top, or pants. Animal prints suit most body shapes and skin tones, and oozes a real sexy feel.
